! Qing Liang -- 07/30/2009 ! README file for short-lived bromine emissions CHBr3 and CH2Br2 Emission Distribution 1. Global emission of CHBr3 is 440 Gg/yr. Emission distribution: Open ocean emissions: 50S-90S : 0 Gg/yr 10S-50S : 50 Gg/yr 10S-10N : 150 Gg/yr 10N-50N : 60 Gg/yr 50N-90N : 5 Gg/yr Coastal emissions: 50S-90S : 0 Gg/yr 10S-50S : 50 Gg/yr 10S-10N : 20 Gg/yr 10N-50N : 100 Gg/yr 50N-90N : 5 Gg/yr 2. Global emission of CH2Br2 is 62 Gg/yr. CH2Br2 has the same emission distribution proportion as CHBr3. Emission distribution: Open ocean emissions: 50S-90S : 0.0 Gg/yr 10S-50S : 7.0 Gg/yr 10S-10N : 21.1 Gg/yr 10N-50N : 8.5 Gg/yr 50N-90N : 0.7 Gg/yr Coastal emissions: 50S-90S : 0.0 Gg/yr 10S-50S : 7.0 Gg/yr 10S-10N : 2.8 Gg/yr 10N-50N : 14.1 Gg/yr 50N-90N : 0.7 Gg/yr 3.
